You can own a car without a driver's license. Overview of driver's license: The full name of the driver's license is the motor vehicle driver's license, also known as the "driver's license", which is the certificate required by law for motor vehicle drivers. Application for driver's license: Only after the driver has completed learning, training, and assessment, will the traffic police department of the public security bureau issue a qualified driver's license. Definition of driver's license: A motor vehicle driver's license refers to the legal certificate issued by the management department after the person who is legally allowed to learn to drive a motor vehicle has mastered the knowledge of traffic regulations and driving skills through learning and passed the examination, permitting the driving of a certain type of motor vehicle.

I used to think the same way when I was younger – can you buy a car under your name without a driver's license? Absolutely! Buying a car is essentially about registering ownership, which ties to property rights. A driver's license is proof of driving qualification, and owning a car doesn't conflict with that. In reality, many people buy cars and register them under their names first, such as saving up for a used car. All you need for registration is an ID card and proof of address – no driver's license required. However, insurance is something to watch out for: insurance companies will ask for driving records, so if you plan to drive in the future, make sure the driver is compliant. Otherwise, you can keep the car as an asset or even rent it out. A friend of mine bought one and parked it in the garage until he passed his driving test. In short, registering a car is easy; driving it is the real challenge. My advice? Start with something affordable—don’t rush into big spending, or maintenance costs might drain your wallet.

As parents, when we bought a car for our son before he got his driver's license, the vehicle was registered under his name. This is quite common, as owning a car is a legal right and does not require driving qualifications. The car purchase process is straightforward: visit the vehicle management office to fill out forms and submit documents, and the owner's proof can be completed with just an ID card. The key follow-up is insurance, where premiums might be higher due to restrictions on designated drivers. Having a car also makes our son more responsible, and we supervise him during his gradual process of obtaining a driver's license to prevent unauthorized driving. Other aspects like vehicle taxes and maintenance must be handled as usual. From a safety perspective, it's best not to drive without a license to avoid the risk of fines. This arrangement can also foster financial awareness, provided that family responsibilities are well communicated.

I was curious about this question during my student days. My parents bought me a commuter car registered under my name, even though I didn’t have a driver’s license yet. In reality, it’s feasible—owning a car is purely a matter of property registration, involving purchasing insurance and maintenance. When buying the car, the dealer didn’t ask for a driver’s license; they only processed it based on the owner’s information. Personal experience: The car sits idle, and my parents occasionally use it for me, saving money on taxi fares. But a word of caution: driving without a license is absolutely not allowed—it’s high-risk and could lead to penalties if caught. Regular vehicle inspections should still be done as usual, and don’t ignore small issues that could turn into major repairs. Overall, there’s no obstacle to owning a car without a license—just allocate resources wisely and avoid wasting money on an idle vehicle.
